What Should I Know Before I Contact a Bail Bondsman?

Let’s say your sister has been arrested and is now in jail. The judge sets bail at a high price that you can’t afford. You’re going to have to give us a call so you can bail your sister out as quickly as possible. But before you make that call, make sure you have the right information!

What Your Bail Bondsman Requires From You

Many times when someone calls to get a loved one released from jail, he/she just doesn’t have the right information or no information needed to help us post bail. You may have the name of the loved one and what prison that person is located in, but there are other important pieces of info we need to help the process go as quickly as possible.

Before giving us a call, make sure you have the following information handy:

The full name of the person who was arrested

Where is the person being held for custody (you should include the name of jail, city, and county)

The person’s booking number. You can find out this information by calling the correctional institution he/she is located in. If the number is not available, the bail agent will be able to get this at a later time.

What are the charges against the person

How much is the bail. Again, the bail bondsman can get this information when contacting the jail but if you know the amount, it will be easier for the bail bondsman to tell you the amount that it will cost to post bond and any requirements to get the person out of jail

Any other information abut his/her arrest that may be important

If you need to bail someone out of jail anywhere in Northeastern Pennsylvania, we’re ready to take your call, day or night. Contact Andrew Pizzo Bail Bonds now.

Although we are a 24-hour service, not all counties in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania permit bail to be posted 24 hours a day. Every county in Pennsylvania has its own unique bail bond rules and regulations wherein bails can only be posted during certain times and based upon conditions set forth by local Magistrates and County Judges. Please be sure to inquire with our agents as to the posting rules and regulations.
